Koonalda Homestead camping area

Campsite

The access track to this no-frills camping near the homestead is off the Eyre Hwy, 100 km west of the Nullarbor Roadhouse and 90 km east of Border Village. The old homestead and outbuildings, built mainly from sleepers from the Indian Pacific railway, are unique and interesting. This homestead used to service traffic crossing the Nullarbor before the sealed Eyre Highway was put in 15 km to the south in the 1970s. Nearby, to the north, is the entrance to Koonalda cave, a sinkhole with fruit trees growing at the bottom. The camping area is 15 km north of the highway. The homestead is available for rent.
